The rumors surrounding CM Punk and his impending debut for AEW have been ramping up over the past few weeks.
Several AEW stars alluded to the former WWE Superstar on this past week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, with Darby Allin essentially calling out the man who was known as the ‘Best In The World.’
Although Allin has since denied that his promo was aimed at CM Punk, the straight edge Superstar will be making his debut at an upcoming event, likely AEW Rampage in Chicago on August 13.
CM Punk Betting Odds
Bet Online recently released the following list of odds for Punk’s first AEW opponent, with Daniel Bryan and Darby Allin looking like the two most likely candidates:
- Darby Allin: +100
- Daniel Bryan: +200
- Christian Cage: +320
- Orange Cassidy: +600
- Matt Hardy: +700
- Chris Jericho: +800
- Cody Rhodes: +800
- Jungle Boy: +900
- Sting: +1000
Although Punk vs Daniel Bryan would be a big match for AEW, it is unlikely that his first match in the company would be against the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Darby Allin seems to be the safe bet for Punk as a first match when he finally debuts in All Elite. It’s unlikely that he will wrestle on the Rampage show itself on August 13, but he may well set up an ALL OUT match against the former TNT Champion for September 5.
